After Action Report

The Rockets survived the Bulls 114-113. Rockets torched the Bulls on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; the Bulls are in a full-on tailspin. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
